July 24, 2012– WORLD – At least 3 men accused of making threats during or after watching the new Batman movie have been arrested in separate incidents, underscoring moviegoers’ anxieties and heightened security in the wake of a deadly mass shooting at a Colorado theater showing the film. A Maine man was arrested when he told authorities that he was on his way to shoot a former employer a day after watching “The Dark Knight Rises,” Maine state police said Monday. Timothy Courtois of Biddeford, Maine, had been stopped for speeding, and a police search of his car found an AK-47 assault weapon, four handguns, ammunition and news clippings about the mass shooting that left 12 people dead early Friday, authorities said. Former graduate student James Holmes, 24, is accused of opening fire in a theater in a Denver suburb. The shooting also injured 58 people. Courtois said he had attended the Batman movie on Saturday, although police have not confirmed whether he actually saw the film. “I guess we’re taking everything at face value,” State Police Lt. Kevin Donovan said. “It’s very scary.” Police searched Courtois’ homelater Sunday and found a machine gun, several other guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition. “We don’t know what his true intentions were,” said Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety. “Based on the arsenal that was confiscated, we brought in our counterparts from the FBI and ATF to assist with the investigation.” Courtois was charged with speeding and possession of a concealed weapon. In Southern California, a man at a Sunday afternoon showing of the film was arrested after witnesses said he made threats and alluded to the Aurora shooting when the movie didn’t start. Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were called to a cinema complex in Norwalk after moviegoers said 52-year-old Clark Tabor shouted: “I should go off like in Colorado.” They said he then asked: “Does anybody have a gun?” A security guard saw Tabor with a backpack on his knees in the second row, but deputies who searched the bag, the theater and its surrounding area did not find any weapon. Separately, moviegoers in Sierra Visa, Ariz., panicked when a man who appeared intoxicated was confronted during a showing of the movie. The Cochise County Sheriff’s office said it caused “mass hysteria” and about 50 people fled the theater. –Yahoo News

the evil spirit that accompanies it. The producers, story writers have turned this 60’s comic book crime fighting “superhero” into a “Dark Knight” .
I don’t think the book/TV writers of Batman in the past would ever envisioned the disaster that has befallen this character.
Interesting to me is that in the 60’s that when the character Bruce Wayne assumed the Batman Character, it did not seem to change him into another being with roots rising from the “dark Side” it seems.

For a long time we here in America have had it great, did not need to worry about kids shooting up a school, did not worry about terrorists hijacking planes & using them as weapons, random shootings such as the recent Colorado incident, etc…we here have had it easy..now we are continually strolling down the path to eventually we will hope a suicide bomber not blow themselves up at the grocery store, a coffee shop, the mall & so on. People in Israel, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, India, Columbia, and many more. Great Britian is even further down that path than us. Do not expect, hope for violence, terrorism, etc…to decrease here…it will progressively get worse & worse. I dread the day, that is inevitably coming when I need to worry if I will be killed just going to the grocery store.

Removing the movie accomplishes nothing, the individual or individuals who committed these crimes did so based on thier own judgement, not because of the content of this movie. Inviting more restrictions on our freedom of choice is treacherous.
I am not an advocate of violence but consider this, if one or even two law abiding citizens were carrying weapons when this took place, how many senseless murders would have been avoided?

If you buying this crap, i feel sorry for you. They’re trying to take away our guns! Stop being so simple! If they want to kill a bunch of people would’nt ramming a car into the theater, a mall or another place where masses gather? Or starting a large fire.
WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO INVOLVE GUNS!? I’m just sayin’.

this was us instigated there is no way the original crime was done the way they stated and where did this college kid get the money..the news outlets can not seem to keep their stories straight, plus since when do fbi agents beat the police to the scene when there is a police station in the mall where this occured…to many things dont add up.plus right on the eve of them trying to take away our second ammendment rights. i hope not to many people are ddrinking this bs kool aid the government is trying to get us to swallow.

I came up with 30 questions, ones the media hasn’t explained, and that don’t take in account the ones they’ve flopped on. A new one came to mind tonight. Where are the surveillance footage? Boy walks in, gets a call, walks out, then is let in the rear door, which an alarm doesn’t sound. Somewhere between walking out and walking in the boy has to suit up in the parking lot. For that matter getting in the car and back out. Nothing adds up on this story other than to make way for new laws.

I don’t know why people react so to the Batman evil. Many many films are evil or even worse evil than this film. I got rid of all movie channels on my TV, except for the old flicks station, because many were hideously twisted, morbid, violent, pornographic, and I didn’t even want to “surf” into them by mistake and see those images. I guess the Batman film is so “big” that it inspires bigger reactions. When will the Lord deliver us?

“We don’t know what his true intentions were,” said Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety. ….. interesting comment in light of the arsenal he had and that they felt they better call in the troops for the investigation. I lived close to a very, very bad gang neighborhood in L.A. for a couple years – 14 years ago – the meth dealers had missile launchers by which they opened doors. If they had those so many years ago, I can only think what may be sitting quietly in some homes as I type. One mouse usually means that more are close by.

Well it can’t be the guns, they have to have an operator and if it weren’t guns it would be bats or knives, maybe even swords. We might want to look at moral decay, the thing behind the weapon that is severely lacking. What else can we expect with what we’re spoon fed the lack of morality on all forms of media, if we allow ourselves to be fed. Until we fix the person, if not guns than another weapon of choice.

It is in our blood, as Americans we are born free & we understand how important it is for us to be armed. For self-defense & should the time come, to rise up against those that seek to destroy what America was founded upon. Sadly, the media, anti-gun lobbyist, etc..will use this to further push their aggenda to ban guns which is utterly absurd. 99.9999999% of all gun owners that bought their guns & buy their guns legally are & will forever be intelligent, lawbiding, & responsible with their guns. To state that banning guns will stop another from doing a mass killing, stop violence, cut down on violence is absolutely stupidness. With that “logic” then we need to ban alcohol because more people are killed by drink drivers in 1 year than in several years with guns. We should ban swords, knives, etc..as well because they can kill. My guns, the gov’t shall not take from I.

In Response to Phyllis below.
no offense intended; but a sword even in roman times was a defensive/offensive weapon for use in closed quarters by soldiers, not civilians. An offensive weapon would have been a dagger or knife, and for soldiers the equivalent weapon would have been a bow, arrows being the equivalent to bullets. That being said; the true meaning behind what Jesus is quoting as having said is subject to interpretation and context. Nothing should be taken as applying to everyone. There are many societies today that have strict gun controls and are quite happy about it, England Australia, and Canada included.

if you ever try to tell me that the United States government could never be capable of nefarious acts of deceit or violence, just because ‘this is America’ and we’re in ‘modern times’ and ‘that could never happen’ or whatever lame reasoning you can think up for not possessing the means to fight tyranny — I will literally laugh in your face. Those are the notions of a spoiled, passive ignoramus who can’t be roused to the reality that liberty requires constant vigilance.

this was quite an interesting post over at dutchsinse’s FB page by “Mae West”

Mae West -According to Wikipedia, “Gotham” is an old nickname for New York City. However, the origin of this word comes from 19th century England which meant “city of fools”; the village named after it meant “homestead of the goats” and was actually “GOATem”. Apparently, in one of the batman comic series the “Joker” told Batman that Gotham means “heaven for goats”. You can read more here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotham_City

1. computation; calculation.
2. the settlement of accounts.
3. a statement of an amount due; bill.
4. an accounting, as for things done: a day of reckoning.
5. an appraisal or JUDGMENT.

Combined, could not “Gotham’s reckoning” also mean “the goats judgment”? Coincidence? Or, are the satanic Elitists running Hollywood today truly conspiring to reveal something in all this? To answer that, let us look for even more hidden clues that might be contained within this movie and horrific slaughter that just occurred:

1. …just past midnight (commonly known as the hour of satanic rituals/sacrifices),

6. …at the Century “16” Movie Theater (which in Biblical numerology means “material power” and is known as the number symbolizing the abyss and Lucifer, also considered as the “final” [remember this movie is billed as “the legend ends”] number of the emanation, it represents the Incarnation completed): http://www.ridingthebeast.com/numbers/nu16.php

7. …where at least “12” people were killed, “12” being the biblical number for “governmental authority” (please see same link in #5),

Surely even more clues or symbolism can be found throughout the scenes of this movie, but for now, I think these alone suffice for asking this question: are Hollywood’s satanic Elitists revealing through this movie that it is now the “dawn” of “the goats judgment” where “the legend ends” and the “final power” of the “abyss” and “Lucifer” is now causing their “dark knight” to “rise” to his prophesied “governmental authority”, then demonically seals this event by sacrificing innocent blood while this dark, DARK movie plays on the overhead screen, casting its errie glow on the horrific massacre occuring below?

In closing, there is one final link I would like you to see; it is a 6-part series foretelling of the coming of “The Black Awakening: Rise of the Satanic Super Soldiers:http://youtu.be/lxrFR-S1rJU

After viewing this series, go back and watch the video trailer link again. Notice any similarities? Again, coincidence?

No doubt scoffers will arise to attack me for this piece (as usual), but just how many “coincidences” do we need before we understand THIS IS NO COINCIDENCE???

God Speed, y’all, in the name of Yeshua (our Jesus), for I believe the days have just grown much darker… and shorter. Amen.

With all of the comments I have read about Jesus, and guns, and more guns, and amendment rights, is that this is one planet that I do not want to live on anymore. It seems that most Americans are willing to be rational and reasonable about most topics; however, take away guns or incorporate a social health care system, and all of a sudden, rationality and reason are thrown out the window. Since when is patriotism marked by violence and a social class system? What is wrong with eliminating guns? You have a (socially sponsored) military whose job is to protect the borders, and you have a (socially sponsored) police force which serves and protects the civilian population. If you hunt, how many guns, and ammunition do you really need to take down a single buck or bear? If you were a true hunter would you not use a bow or traditional means as hunting is now considered more a sport than a necessity? I have read numerous comments saying that if someone else only had a gun, or if the gunman knew that everyone else had guns, that this would have ended differently. Where is the intelligence in that? It would have ended differently for sure. With a lot more innocent blood shed, a lot more lives lost.
Yes there are unstable people in the world, and it will continue to get worse, and movie violence will continue to entertain the masses for generations, do not compound the problem by making more guns the solution.

Well said NONE. I too wish there was a departure lounge from this planet we like to call our own & I’d really, really like it if there was a suitable planetary alternative to this one that I could migrate to. A planet without a military superpower with an unhealthy & archaic fixation with firearms & one without followers of a religion that refuses – sometimes murderously – to contemplate the existence of any other Source than the one they believe in. One where freedom of speech & expression of that freedom is respected in the mediums of film & literature instead of movies, books & video games being labelled “evil” & then blamed for violent acts that lunatics who have no soul commit. Yes, I’m a dreamer.

It goes a bit deeper than just a nut with a gun, or genius, however someone wants to see him, or I should say them. There is a reason for the weird music at his apt that was heard loud. Did this film have anything to do with it, maybe. To be brief:

So what at SALT was James Holmes contribution that earned him a 26k grant (but nowhere does it say he personally got the money) by the National Health Institute (NIH)? I find this:
“James Holmes Wrote And Made Mind Control Programs. After graduating in 2006, Holmes worked as a student intern at the Salk Institute of Biological Studies and Miramar College’s biotechnology summer boot camp, where “cream of the crop” students were given rudimentary laboratory projects.

For his part while at Salk, Holmes wrote in his resume that he designed a computer program to illustrate temporary perceptions of causality and programmed a flicker fusion utility. James Holmes Flicker Fusion Utility. Used in movies and game systems by every day people. Flicker fusion is used in mind control.” Source: http://whyamericansaredumb.com/james-hol…l-programs .

Please do not watch the whole video and turn off your sound after you first hear it. Skip to the last of the video and it explains it and if it tries to sell you one, don’t buy it. Or better still, read the 1st links. Don’t take my word for it or the link I quoted from. Google also, JOHN JACOBSON, David Eagleman, Dr. Terrence Sejnowsk, and what this boy was involved in. I think he was an experiment gone wrong.

Seems to me that the REAL Dark Knight is striking out, because he knows the end of the story and that he is destined to be defeated. He is striking out because that end may indeed be quite soon. People of faith be steadfast, hold on to Jesus and you will be safe. What you need to be doing now is not panicking for yourself, but hasten to share your Salvation story with those who don’t have one. Don’t be concerned with them who will not listen. God knows who will believe and who won’t, and it will be Him that converts them. It is not for us to do the conversion, just be obedient and tell people about Him.
By the way, here in Australia we have successfully removed guns from the general community (although some criminals manage to obtain them, but they are more interested in preserving their own lives than in taking multiple other lives, so don’t tend to be mass killers), after our last terrible mass shooting event in the Port Arthur massacre. We also have a national health scheme. Life here isn’t perfect, but we don’t feel any need to arm ourselves, nor lie awake at night wondering how we pay for our health needs.
